In some ways, but in others not. I do think my medications play a small part in it, but of course the illness (past episodes), too. My long-term memory is still quite good, especially for all years prior to my worst episodes. What is the worst "damage" in my view is how I no longer seem capable to handle the heavy schedule, stress, and multitasking I could before those worst episodes. Meaning, a challenging job plus home type work, socialization, hobbies. I remember a while back taking online college courses. That was the first time since before my worst episodes that I could handle such extra work, showing some "healing". But only one course at a time. I wondered how in youth I was once able to take 21 credits, successfully, all at once and do much more. This is an outstanding question, Nammu! One more than worthy of a thread of its own, if you feel inclined.

What was the last class (college, other) you took?
